Education and Training Reform Act 2006

The Public Administration Act 2004 applies in respect of the government ELC workforce as if, under that Act—

the government ELC workforce is a "public sector body" and part of the "public sector"; and

the Secretary, in the Secretary's capacity as the employer of the government ELC workforce, is the "public sector body Head" of the government ELC workforce; and

an employee is a "public sector employee" and a "public official".

Despite anything to the contrary in the Public Administration Act 2004, the government ELC workforce is not a "public entity" under that Act.
